Shane Doherty has sent in some great pictures from his grandson’s first fishing trip.

“I took my six-year-old grandson, also named Shane, on his first fishing trip to a local pond recently and he managed to catch nine fish: two crucian carp, five small roach, a golden orfe/rudd and a tench! All were caught with Drennan 5lb Supplex line to a size 16 barbless hook, using double red maggot and a prawn for the tench. Shane’s first fish caught was a crucian carp!”

A crucian carp is a great fish to help kick off anyone’s love of fishing, so well done to both Shanes!
